As featured on This Morning, ITV, The Times and Zest Magazine, buggyfit is the ultimate fitness class for new Mums wanting to get back in shape after their new arrival.

Exercise classes out in the fresh air with your baby or toddler in their buggy. Classes comprise power walking aerobic exercise, gentle stretches, muscular strength, endurance and toning, posture and pelvic floor.

We use parks and pathways around Cambridge and anyone can join in once they are 6 weeks post vaginal delivery, or 10 - 12 weeks post c-section. Mums with older babies and toddlers are welcome too - it doesn't matter how long ago you had your child, as long as they are happy to be wheeled around in a buggy! Double buggies are also welcome. We use whatever is at hand - steps, trees, fences, park benches, etc to exercise and have time to socialise too. Please get in touch prior to your first class.

HOW DO I JOIN BUGGYFIT?

Ensure that you have been cleared to exercise by your GP (usually 7 – 8 weeks following a vaginal birth and 10 – 12 weeks following a caesarean birth)

Download the health screening form from the website, complete it and bring it along to your first session.

Please make sure you have given us your name, address, and telephone number in case we need to contact you.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Older children are welcome as long as they are in a buggy.  Unfortunately, whilst we love dogs, health and safety does not allow us to have them in our classes.
